I really don't mind if a team is dominating a league for awhile. As long as its not because they are spending over 900% of what another team is spending.
That's just dumb.

But as people are trying to say. The Yankees did outspend other teams. They bought good players right out of amateur status, and the transaction rules in the past limited player movement. Lou Gehrig was a great high school player that originally went to college but got lured to the Yankees by money. Joe DiMaggio was sold to the Yankees from a minor league team for big money.
If you love the old Yankees teams, then you are loving teams bought by money too.
It the system is still like the old days, Alex Rodriguez would have spent all his career with the Yankees.
